Cardiac Rehab
Helping you live a healthy life is just one of our goals at Dominican Hospital. If you’ve suffered a heart attack or suffer from other heart ailments, our cardiac rehabilitation program can help you achieve a more active lifestyle.
Cardiac Surgery
There are a variety of surgical procedures doctors can use to treat heart disease. More extensive cases of heart disease require heart surgery to restore normal functionality to the heart.
Dare to C.A.R.E.
Dare to C.A.R.E. is a free heart and vascular disease education and screening program provided as a cooperative effort through Dominican Hospital and Dominican Hospital Foundation.
If caught early, vascular disease can be treated to prevent serious problems such as heart attack or stroke, amputations, or even death.
Heart Attack
The heart pumps blood and oxygen throughout the body, but it also depends on a supply of blood and oxygen to do its work. A heart attack happens when one of the arteries that bring blood to the heart muscle is blocked. A portion of the heart muscle is damaged or dies due to inadequate blood flow.
Heart Attack Prevention
Any sports fan knows the best defense is often times the best offense. Your best defense for a heart attack is prevention. Your risk increases with age and if you have multiple, unrelated health problems. Even if you are not living a healthy lifestyle now, it is not too late to start reducing your risk factors.
Women’s Heart Health
According to the American Heart Association, heart disease causes one in three deaths each year, making it the number one killer of women - affecting women at any age and at any time.
TAVR
Dominican Hospital is one of the select providers in the nation, and the only hospital in the Monterey Bay area, to offer patients a minimally invasive procedure for heart valve replacement. Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR) allows for valve replacement without opening a patient’s chest.
